Last week I wrote a post about exploring depth of field by choosing f/22 on a wide angle lens. A few days later my friend in Iowa sent me a link to a You Tube video by Bryan Peterson about the very same subject. He said that his friend had sent it to him and that he had viewed the video just before he had read my post.

The cool thing was that when I watched the video I realized that the reason I was experimenting with f/22 was because I had just re-read Bryan's book "Exposure" and about Story Telling apertures. I then cc'd my friend George on the reply to Ken and he said that he had just gone through and posted a bunch of wide angle shots that he took in Joshua Tree on their last trip.

A lot of folks might say that this is a coincidence but to me I believe it goes to show just how connected we are with each other and the world around us. How many times have you felt that feeling of deja-vu or had an idea pop into your head and when you discuss it with a friend they say they were thinking the same thing. I for one believe in the inter connectivity that exists between all living things and nature. Maybe its a spiritual thing but I think that its a power that can not be ignored - but for now I am just going to call it The f/22 Connection.

Cheers!
